Magic knock off Cavs 99-88

Thu., Jan. 29, 2009

ORLANDO, Fla. – The Orlando Magic are looking more and more like a contender in the Eastern Conference.

Dwight Howard had 22 points and 18 rebounds, Hedo Turkoglu added 19 points and 11 rebounds, and the Magic took advantage of LeBron James' off night to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 99-88 on Thursday night.

Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson, both selected All-Star reserves earlier in the night, also came up big for Orlando. Lewis had 19 points, and Nelson chipped in 18.

James was 10-of-27 shooting for the Cavaliers, who lost for the first time in five games. He finished with 23 points, eight rebounds and eight assists. He spent much of the night complaining to the officials and missed three of six free throws.
